Weather Emergencies

New Hope Medical Training, LLC’s staff cares about the safety of each student. If snow or

other weather conditions are so severe and impose dangerous driving conditions that the campus

must be closed, students will be notified of school closing on the school’s website and via the

email address given at orientation. Students may also call the school’s administrative office to

confirm school closing 2 hours before class starts by listening to the recorded weather line.

Unless further announcements are made, classes will resume on schedule the following day.

Students are to assume responsibility for their own safety when making decisions to attend

classes during inclement weather.

It is the student’s responsibility to view the website and check emails for school cancelation or

delays due to weather emergencies.

Class Cancellations and Reschedules

New Hope Medical Training reserves the right to cancel or reschedule a course due to low

enrollment or unforeseen circumstances. In such case the student will be eligible to enroll in

completed Enrollment Certification by the end of orientation. Orientation dates will be posted on

the website and sent on confirmation letter for each class. During orientation, students will:

Meet their academic department head and instructor(s).

conduct, parking, attendance regulations, drug policy, safety policy, safety report, and

numerous additional policy terms.

Ensure proper documents have been submitted by each student and complete an official

enrolment certification before student can start class.

7

Attendance Policies

We, at New Hope Medical Training, realize how important it is for students to have regular

attendance to obtain pertinent knowledge from a class to enhance their career goals. It is also vital

that all students who graduate from their individual program are equipped and prepared for the medical

field of their choice. It is essential that students be in attendance of all classroom hours, including labs

and clinical. Therefore, we have developed the following policy regarding attendance, absences,

leaves, tardiness, class cuts, and other interruptions, as well as make-up work:

Absences

Students are expected to call or email only the administrative office if they will be absent.

Students are responsible for course content when absent and for coming prepared to the

class following the absence. It is the student’s responsibly to obtain make-up assignments

from the instructor.

The student must come to assigned make up days announced in class

Poor attendance will result in disciplinary actions (see policy below).

Make Up Work

Students may be given make up tests that are different and slightly more difficult from

the original tests given to students. Make up assignments will be done on assigned make

up days. Make up days will be announced on orientation and / or first day of class. All

students who are absent must come to assigned make up days to successfully complete

the course.

Tardiness

All students are expected to be on time for each class. There will be a 10-minute grace

period after class officially begins. After 10 minutes, the student is considered to be

tardy. If a student has excessive tardiness, he or she may be subjected to disciplinary

actions leading to dismissal from class.

Class Cuts

If student leaves class early or cuts class without instructor approval, the student will be

subject to the same disciplinary action as in the attendance policy.

Unsatisfactory Attendance Policy:

Actions for students, whose absences, tardiness, or leaving early from class interfere with their

ability to meet course objectives, the student may occur the following:

Placed on academic probation

8

Dropped from the course

Providing documentation does not remove the absence from records

If the student decides not to return to class, the student will be dropped from the class at

midterm unless the student withdraws from the course in writing per school policy.

Governing Body Regulated Attendance

Some future programs may have outside regulatory bodies that require a minimum of course

attendance and hours.

Each instructor will include attendance requirements and criteria for tardiness on the course

syllabus.

Special Circumstances/Leave of absence

Special consideration may be given but not guaranteed which may include a leave of absence, in

the case of a student prolonged illness, accident, death in the family, or other circumstances that

make it impractical to complete the program. This has to be approved by the Director and will

require documented proof (for example a doctor’s note, or obituary copy.)
